a little less than a 1/4 inch of olive oil to fry in.
FLOUR AND EGG WASH

Steps:

1. Place chicken in a bag and pound it, so that the thickness is even. (about 1/4 inch thick or so)
2. In a shallow bowl (I like to use a pie plate) add the bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder and crushed red pepper. Mix well
3. Put flour in another shallow bowl or plate. Next beat egg with the water in yet another shallow dish. Line them up, flour, egg wash then bread crumb mixture.
4. Add oil to skillet. Dip chicken in the flour, then egg wash and finally the bread crumbs.
5. If oil is hot, place chicken in skillet and fry for about 5 minutes each side or till completely cooked through. Drain on a rack or on a paper towel.
